"The 2014 vintage from Marcel Juge seems absolutely classic in personality and shows lovely promise for such a young wine. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a fine blend of black raspberries, cassis, pepper, roasted meats, stony soil tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, nascently complex and shows off outstanding depth at the core, with ripe, beautifully-integrated tannins, excellent focus and grip and a long, youthful and very well balanced finish. This is a classic in the making, and though it does not differ dramatically from the 2015, there is something here that suggests that this wine may well outperform the 2015 in the fullness of time."
